Mr.. Davidson's sagacious Dog.

Mr. Davidson has a farm bell on his
premiscs. which Is erected on the Top
of a twelve foot post and which = ruhg
bv a rope. Not long since the bell be-
gan to ring az night about IL O'Clock.
The ringing continued for some time,
and Mr, Davidson family were BABY
frightened. They got out OF bed,
opened the door, went to the bell, but
not soul was in sight. The night was
during the moonlight, and everything
outside was almost as clear as day.
Mr.. Davidson was astonished. lie
went indoors, but noticing the dog III
the house, made the animal go outside.
The family had just got into bed wheh
the bell sounded once more, and the
ringing kept up until the outside door
was opened, when il ceased. The DOG
was noticed at the XII tchen door when
the door was opened.
Mr. Davidson could see no one ana
he was greatly mystifed. Thoughts
of ghosts entered his mind, and he
went inside. but remained at the
kitchen window, where he could see
the bell. lie had closed the door but
a few moments and got to the window,
when be noticed the dog acting in a
strange manner The animal woulo
run to the kitchen door, and from
there - the belI-post 1t kept this Up
for nj least five minutes, when II jump
ed on box that stood directly under
the bell. IL seized the rope in its
mouth and the mystery was soon dis
PEELED. and the bell changed merrily in
the clear December air. The dog now
sleeps IN the house, and the family is
not awakened at night 'Jyp' was
cold and wanted to go into the house.

The ladies of the Benevolent Society
are greatly in need of clothing for the
sufteling poor now on their hands. The
cold weather has greatly increased the
number of sufferers, and also intensified
their necessities; and in our city there
must be many who have garments that
they will no longer use. Will they NOT
gladly contribute them for the immedi.
ate relief of pressing needs. Packages
may be sent to 43S Hope street, on
every Friday afternoon, or Mrs. Ducom-
nun, % Ducommun street, will send for
them if informed where they are. The
ladies of the Benevolent Society are also
greatly in need of an invalid's chair on
rollers. Will not some kind hearted,
generous person take pleasure in sup.
plying this pressing necessity, either as
loan or donation. The condition of a
suffering dying man now on our hands,
and similar cases continually occurring,
make such chair a matter of primary
Importance in carrying Oh our work.

a serauRe DeIusion.

A common idea prevails that across
the Sierra Madre is the great forbidding
Moiave desert, where vultures and
wolves are the graves of the travellers.
Such reports are most unfounded and
injurious. A large portion of the land
across the mountains for twenty miles in
width can be cultivated and made to yield
valuable crops by the expenditure of
money to irrigate the soil. A complete
demonstration of this proposition has
been made during the past year, when
six crops year of alfalfa were raised
along the Moiave without irrigation.
Mr.. James P. Jones makes another
illustration Of desert products by pre-.
senting the HERALD with sample OF
beautiful white corn grown in the
Mojave valley without irrigation. This
corn was planted in July last, and gath
cred in September following, and yield
ed one hundred bushels per acre. The
quality Is unsurpassed. A single ear
shows 1890 kernels by actual count, and
generally each stalk had two ears.
A weld of two thousand fold is pretty
good for reputed desert.
This grain is grown at an elevation OF
5000 feet above the sea level, and ap.
pears to be free from the fly and its
product the worm that infest the ears of
lowland corn.
This fine growth of corn and the ex-
cellent apples that were mentioned In
the HERALD short time ago, both
products of the Mojave valley, show
that there is yet large area for settlers
to make excellent homes on productive
soil. There is great deal of room yet
in Southern California for thrifty farm
ers to establish themselves and make
handsome fortunes.

Father ana SON Lunatics.

Alonzo Lapman was yesterday exam
ined before Judge Brunson in respect to
his mental capacities. Lapham is 25
years of age. a native OF the United
States and unmarried. He has been in
an asylum before. He is apt to roam
around and is subject to fits of passion,
during which there is a disposition in
him to commit acts of violence. The
supposed cause of Lapham's insanity is
hereditary. He was committed to
Stockton. The father of Alonzo, John
w. Lapham. whose disappearance from
the house of his brother, w. w. lap
ham, of ITO King street, was mentioned
few days ago in the HERALD, was also
committed to the same asylum. He is
81 years of age, born in the United
States, and a minister of the M. E.
Church. He runs away from home,
wanders about and is under the impress
sion that he is going to starve to death.
Both lunatics will be taken up to-day by
j. c. Cline.

Wonderful Rise I'm Real Estate.

Wonderful Rise In heal Estates
Six months ago the guardian OF a
minor applied to Judge Brunson for
permission to sell ten acres OF land be-
longing to his ward in Pasadena. The
price he could secure then was $4,000.
This was at the rate of $500 an acre.
In reply to a question by the Court, the
guardian said that just one year before
the best price that could be obtained
for the same land was $3.50 per acre.
On this showing Judge Brunson con-
cluded that the best possible way to in
crease the minors estate was to let the
land remain dormant for awhile, and in
consequence he declined to give an order
for the sale of the real estate. Several
days ago the guardian again applied to
the Superior Court for permission to sell
the same land The application came
before Judge Cheney, who granted it.
The ten acres have now been sold for
$l4, 300. As the land was worth only
$500 one year and half ago. it has. in
that time, by being kept intact, pro-
duced the considerable additional sum
of $ll, 800.

EDWARD KING writes as follows to the Even
ing Post from Paris: Great numbers Of
Americans are visiting Paris this summer, and.
contrary to their usual practice. seem likely to
remain throughout the whole warm season.
Paris is gradually following the custom of Lon
don and is prolonging its fashionable period un-
til late in August; those people who rush away
to the springs and seaside in June and July are
perpetualIy coming back to town to participate
in the various festivities and in year or two it
will be the mode not to 60 away at all until the
final breakup in the heated August term
THE oldest man In the world is said to be
James James, a colored citizen of the United
States. who resides at Santa Rosa, Mexico He
is 135 years old. He was born near Dorchester,
S. c., in 1852. He was one OF the laborers at
Fort Moultrie during the unsuccessful attack
by the British fleet in 1776. Hewas then twenty
four years old. His master, James James,
manned one of the guns during the fight. His
last owner WAS Henry James, who moved into
Mexico in 1858 in order that his slaves might be-
come free before his death. At present rheu-
matsm keeps James from walking. but he can
drag himself a short distance, and otherwise is
in fairly good health.

THE opinion of Justice Harlan, of the
United States Supreme Court, in the Marion
county election fraud cases, is printed in full
In this issue of the Journal. The importance
of the questions involved and the general in
terest felt in the case will insure for the opin-
ion wide reading. The case came before
Justice Harlan on application for writ of
habeas corpus by Simeon Coy, one of the de-
PENDANTS, who was confined in the Marion
county jail The motion turned mainly on
the question of jurisdiction. Justice Harlan
denies the writ, thereby sustaining the juris-
diction of the United States court and Incl
dentally the validity of the indictments. The
opinion is a strong and comprehensive one,
presenting every important legal point in the
case clearly and forcibly and reaching we'll
founded conclusions. Without going at this
time into an analysis of the opinion we re-
mark that it sustains Judge Woods in every
point and asserts the jurisdiction of the court
In manner that settles the question for this
and all similar cases.
